I'm going to have to abandon this for now The stuttering / micro-pauses and freezes (some over 1 minute long) are just making it impossible. The clock keeps running, so a run can get 2+ minutes added on, let along control issues.

With DW2 starting, unless FDev fix it early this week, i don't see any chance of getting a time in before, well significantly later.

Finally, after much anticipation, Cmdr PrimetimeCasual makes his entry onto the Ridge Challenge scoreboard driving an SRV appropriately named "Perseverance".

Seemingly in direct competition with Cmdrs Darplata94 and Hawkus Alpha, he managed a top-10 Blue run, finishing 9th with a time of 11:58, a top-10 Red run, finishing 7th with a time of 26:39 and a top-10 Black run, finishing 8th with a time of 40:39. Hopefully he'll get one more chance to improve on those before he sets off on DW2 but in the meantime, congratulations sir - excellent times!

Damn, that's a real bummer Stinja! Oh well, the ridge challenge will hopefully still be here in a years time. Who knows, perhaps someone will even have managed to beat Turkwinif by then!

Cmdr PrimetimeCasual has returned to the ridge and managed to shave a minute off his Blue run time, leapfrogging Darplata94 to take 8th place. He'll need to shave 2 minutes to do the same in Red and just over 5 minutes to do the same in Black! (not that I would ever attempt to stir up some friendly rivalry between two commanders simply to bolster the ratings of my race! )

Oh, the times are tempting, and I was quite on the way... Unfortunately further attempts will have to wait "a bit" - I'm on DW2.

Today sees a brand new entry from Cmdr k0hb0t. Welcome to the ridge commander, always a genuine pleasure to see someone new show up here and what a thoroughly respectable time you've posted too. Completing the Blue run in 17m 8s, k0hb0t drops "Corvus" into 19th place, just 12 seconds behind Bob Lighthouse's as yet unnamed SRV.

Never before in the annals of my SRV driving have I bounced in so many random directions, nor felt so queasy in VR , nor found so many invisible rocks that stopped me dead.
Also, finding the screenshot key when you can't see the keyboard is, apparently, hard!

I've had a few goes now. The SRV Exit Stage Left did just that several times, although miraculously I managed to keep it one piece despite ~9km descents until a particularly enthuastic encounter with checkpoint blue (finish line fever). I also managed to take a number of screenshots at the right time but without the necessary information on screen again.

I finally made a (hopefully) legit run in the SRV Maybe This Time. Weirdly, it felt easier to keep a good line on the red and black sections. Anyway,
